A legal document assistant, or LDA (also commonly known as “legal document preparer,” “legal technician,” “online legal document provider” and “legal document clerk”) is a non-lawyer authorized to assist with the preparation of legal instruments. The profession is similar to a paralegal. Legal Document Assistants have the educational background that a paralegal has. By law we are REQUIRED to be registered and bonded in the county in which our business is located. Legal Document Assistants were once commonly known as Independent Paralegals. However, as of January 1st, 2000, only those Paralegals working directly for attorneys may now be referred to as Paralegals. Those formerly known as Independent Paralegals are now officially known as Legal Document Assistants (LDA's). ((B&PC Section 6400), California SB 1418)
A legal document assistant may not provide any kind of advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation to a consumer about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies. A legal document assistant shall complete documents only in the manner prescribed by paragraph (1) of subdivision (d).
